• 1⁄2 cup heavy cream

1. Trim any rind from the cheese. Put into a 4 - 6 cup saucepan with the milk and the butter. Warm gently.
2. Break up any bits of Gorgonzola until it has dissolved. Simmer for just a moment. Remove from heat.
3. Cook pasta. Drain.
4. When pasta is nearly done, return sauce to stove. Add cream, and a little salt and pepper. Turn the heat to medium high, and stirring all the while, reduce a little, like for Alfredo sauce. Stir in the Parmesan cheese. Toss with pasta in a heated dish, or in pasta pan, and serve in warm bowls with more grated cheese along side and a pepper mill.
